Description

BACKGROUNDTechnical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to motion training.Related Art

[0002] JP-A-2004-298430 discloses a technique of allowing a patient to visually recognize motion images which reproduces a missing body part as realistically as possible for the treatment of phantom limb pain. JP-A-2004-298430 discloses applying this technique to the treatment of paralysis.

[0003] In the related-art technique, the user is allowed to visually recognize motion images that are as realistic as possible. Therefore, when the technique is used for motion training of a body part that is not missing, the motion images is displayed so as to be superimposed on a training target site that is a body part of the user. Thus, it is difficult to compare the body part of the user and the motion images, and therefore the training is not effective.SUMMARY

[0004] An advantage of some aspect of the disclosure is to solve the problems described above, and the disclosure can be implemented as the followi...

Embodiment Construction

[0022]FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a Head Mounted Display (HMD) 10. The term “HMD” is an abbreviation of head mounted display. The HMD 10 executes display processing, described later, and thus realizes a display method for motion training and functions as a motion training device. Motion training is carried out, for example, for rehabilitation of a hand (hereinafter also referred to as rehab).

[0023]The HMD 10 is an optical transmission-type (optical see-through) display on which the user can simultaneously see both a virtual image and real space.

[0024]The HMD 10 includes a display device 20 shaped like eyeglasses, and a controller 70. The display device 20 and the controller 70 are connected via a wire or wirelessly so as to be able to communicate with each other. In this embodiment, the display device 20 and the controller 70 are connected via a cable 90. The controller 70 communicates a signal of an image (image signal) and a signal for control (control signal) with the displ...
